Men’s Women’s Addiction Rehab Program

Many of the addiction treatment needs of men and women are the same. However, there are some needs that vary between gender. These varying needs are why it’s important for people to enter gender specific rehab programs. At Crestview Recovery our mens drug rehab program and womens drug rehab program can help people overcome addiction more quickly.

Benefits of Choosing a Gender Specific Men’s and Women’s Addiction Rehab Program

There are a number of benefits that come with entering a gender-specific rehab program. For example, women often have different reasons than men for turning to substance abuse. Some common reasons include:

Low self-esteem

Emotional abuse

Sexual assault

Domestic violence or other physical abuse

Stress from working and balancing a family

Another benefit of joining a gender-specific rehab program is that therapy sessions are more focused. For therapy to work correctly, it’s important to get to the root cause of the problem. The causes of addiction are often different between men and women.

Differences Between Men and Women in Rehab

Data shows that men have a higher chance of abusing drugs than women. However, that doesn’t mean that women don’t have drug and alcohol abuse problems as well. Girls under the age of 18 are more likely to abuse drugs than boys of the same age.

While both men and women benefit from extended care addiction treatment programs, women may benefit even more. Studies show that many women only show significant improvement after a 90-day rehab program. Women’s addiction problems are often deeply rooted in their brains, so it takes extra time and therapy to begin the healing process.
